Obviously, some people’s opinions don’t matter. I just find it interesting.

Are you different in person than you are online?

A rejected suitor said that I had no personality.

The people you know have good vocabularies.

Do you think that people’s perception of you is different offline? For instance, I don’t think anyone here would describe you as “cowardly,” “dull,” or “lazy.”

My only beauty is my hair (like Jo from Little Women). Thanks, Aunt. :roll:

People I know off-line know me better than anyone on-line, except for the FBI, TSA, and other government security types monitoring this website.

:D Hi, Rob!  Hi, Dan!

I get mixed reviews.

I think the best one to date has got to be when my ex called me a hybrid. It still makes me laugh and it was well over 20 years ago

Most people I know are way less educated than I am.

:lol:

My shyness makes it difficult for people off-line to get to know me.

A hybrid? What did he mean?

I really don't know but it makes me laugh every time I remember it. If I remember rightly we was arguing so it was an insult. He wasn't a very nice person to be honest

People focus on my appearance more than anything. I'm not going to bother listing any of those as it makes me uneasy.

Naive, articulate :roll: , funny, dark, kind, compassionate, down to earth, posh, shy, feisty, personable, deep, interesting, weird, different, cheeky, blunt, generous, mean, cheery demeanor.

My sense of humour isn't any different to how it is online, but I hold back on the rude stuff to stay out of trouble.

Oh yeah blunt that's another one. I just don't believe in skirting around things.

My ex employer once called me militant. That a word that gets banded about for anyone who dares to stand against a bad boss these days.

"c**t" is probably the most common, which could be interpreted as good or bad here in the UK.

Fortunately it's part of my masking, the palisade/litmus test to keep the sensitive zealots out, so i'm glad it's working.

People who actually know me are far more positive however, I get the usual fluffy ones like smart, caring, understanding, unjudgmental, intelligent, attentive etc.

I “don’t have my own mind” and am “BORING.”

I’m a “good listener.”

I’m “rebellious” and a “black sheep.”

I am a black sheep, but it’s for being sensible, not rebellious.
